Meowllo everypawdy, me’s back. Mommy and me wanna thank everyone who called, sent cards, commented, sent financial help and fur all da purrayers, luv and support. Stay tuned fur me’s Blest Sunday posty. Mommy wants me thank you all fur luvvin’ sissy and me. We’s been so touched by da outpourin’ of luv and to know sissy was special to others cuz she fur sure is/was to us. Me has so much news, but me will try not to take up too much of yous time today. We are still havin’ catputer purroblems, but fanks to awnty Mary Beth and uncle Garth, we are gettin’ dat worked out, so hopefully we will be back up and runnin’ full speed ahead soon. In da meantime, we don’t have access to da live writer we use to write me’s posty’s so we hope da fonts and sizing are readable fur everypawdy, we have no control without da live writer.
Mommy had planned to post me’s grievin’ purrocess as it was happenin’ but as you know we took a whole week off. Losin’ sis Lexi has been really hard on mommy and me. We really purreciate all your patience with us. Since we didn’t chronicle me’s grievin’ from da start we don’t know ifin it’s sumfin’ you all wuld be innerested in or not. Me’s title has a lot to do with me’s grievin’ cuz me didn’t mew with mommy fur over a week. You can let us know in da comments ifin you wuld like to read a posty ’bout it. Me will tell ya’ dat altho’ we thought day one was hard, it really hit me a few days later and dat’s another reason we took extra time off. And we also wanna let everypawdy know dat sissy’s ashes will be comin’ home where she belongs.
Me’s been spendin’ a lot of time lap lovin’ with mommy.
Mommy has been tryin’ to find me a helper, but there just aren’t any kittens hardly to be found. She did find a couple dat she won’t be able to see till next week, so da search is on. She keeps purromissin’ me sum help and me just keeps lookin’ fur sissy. After all she’s been da only helper me’s ever known.
In other news, you all member we put mr. W’s kitty Buddy on a 30 day challenge at da furst of da month, and we’s gunna be updatin’ ya’ on how he’s doin’ soon. And we got sum great treats and noms from Chewy this month to try out dat we’s gonna be tellin’ ’bout next week. So like me said, lots of things are goin’ on here. Oh and we still have dat big ‘partment inspection comin’ up next week too. (hisssssss)
Me missed St. Pat’s day. Here’s a kiss fur you all.
Anyways, me’s rambled on enuff today. We just wanted to let you all know we’s still here and comin’ back. It just took mommy a little longer than she ‘spected to get back. Da grievin’ is in no way over, but we realize life goes on and we need to jump back in so neither of us falls into a deep depression. We’s joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da weekly Pet Parade. Go by and check out all da pawsum anipals of da blogosphere. Purrlease give us some time, we will be round to visit you all soon.
Oh Furiday what took you so long? We was so confused we kept callin’ Fursday, Furiday. MOL Now you may be wunnerin’ why we was so confused, right? Well let me ‘splain. As you know mommy uses a wheelchair in da meowning’s cuz she can’t get ‘round on da legs God gave her till she gets her medicine and her muscles and all wake up. Anyways, those wheelchairs run on rechargeable batteries. Seems everything runs on batteries these days. And you know, nuffin’ these days is made to last includin’ da batteries in those wheelchairs. Over da last couple of weeks da chair has been getting’ slower and slower. See once we learn how to drive da wheelchair mommy let’s us turn up da speed a bit. But here lately even on full out wheely mode da chair wuld barely creep along and when it hit a little bump it would come to a joltin’ stop and start beepin’ at us. So mommy knew it was time fur new batteries but she didn’t know who to call. See da company we got da chair from is no longer in business. And Medicare likes to work with da same company they bought an item from fur repairs. We don’t why, we just know there’s a lot of red tape to switch companies.
Me’s welkummin’ Furiday and da sunshine
Anyways, mommy had to ask around to find out who everypawdy was usin’ since they all got their wheelchairs from da same place. Mr. W has someone out here workin’ on his chair all da time, so he finally gave mommy a nummer to call to get new batteries fur her chair. When mommy called ‘em they set up a pointment with her fur yesfurday furst thing in da meownin’. She didn’t get to choose a time or she wulda chose sometime in da afternoon of course. Anyways, knowin’ dat she can’t get ‘round in da meownings she knew she wuld have to stay up all night Wednesday and continue takin’ medicine so she kuld function when da repairman got here Fursday. Me has to tell ya’, me doesn’t like all-nighters. We all miss out on prime snugglin’ time. Fankfully it doesn’t happen all da time. Sis Lexi gave up ‘round 4 a.m. and she went off to da bed to get some sleep. Me on da other hand wasn’t leavin’ mommy’s site, so me laid down in one of da cat beds we have dat be unner mommys desk. Me kuld ketch a little shut eye and still watch over mommy. Needless to say we both kept noddin’ off. Mommy sez she’s getting’ to old fur these kinda things.
It’z about time da we got new batteriez fur da wheelchair
Well Fursday finally arrived and mommy fed sissy and me a little early so da repairman wuldn’t innerupt our brekky, and then she sat down to wait fur da call. We’s not in da GPS so she spected him to call fur directions since he was comin’ from da big city (Oklahoma City). Well she waited and waited and waited some more, but no call came. Finally a little after noon da repairman called and sed he wuld be at our house in about an hour. Mommy was exhausted and fit to be tied. All she kuld say was, dat we kulda went to bed and got all those snuggles we missed out on. Oh well kulda, wulda, shulda, right?
Da repairman finally arrived ‘bout 1:30 p.m. and sed he had batteries in his truck. So he turned on mommys wheelchair and tried to navigate it outside. They never do anythin’ in your house. Mommy hates dat cuz she doesn’t trust them, but she has no choice lessen she wants to go outside and watch ‘em. Da batteries were so drained dat when he got to da front door, da chair wuldn’t even go over da little hump. He had to manually push da chair all da way out to his truck. It’s not dat far to da parkin’ lot from our partment, but it took 15 minutes fur him to get dat chair outside. It was kinda chilly yesfurday, but repair man was workin’ up a sweat. Anyways, he replaced da batteries and brought da chair back to da house and left and mommy sed, “WooHoo, girls it’s nap time.”
Me needs a nap.
We’s got a purropurrly workin’ wheelchair again and can finally go faster than da tortoise. So needless to say me had to play a little this meownin’ afur deliverin’ da chair to mommy. Me went speedy zip zoomy and ran smack dab into da bed. Neither mommy nor sis Lexi was amused. At least we’s finally caught up with da days and it’s still Furiday. MOL So as far as we’s concerned, we’s had two Furidays this week. We’ll be round to visit as soon as we can, mommy’s still tryin’ to ketch up on da rest she missed and sissy and me are tryin’ to ketch up on da cuddles. As we do every week, we’s joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da Pet Parade blog hop. Check it out, ya’ might make a new furiend or two. Me’s gotta go get some more cuddles now, so me will see ya’ later.

After an all nighter are you alert or walkin’ in a haze?
Happy artsy Caturday to you all. Afur me goes any further, me wants to pawlogize to anypawdy what thought sissy had gone to heaven when they saw yesfurdays blog post title. We thought we had worded it so dat wuldn’t be da case. Sissy just wanted to tell mommy how much she luvved and purreciated her. Me will be writin’ one of me’s own to mommy, so we hope you stay tuned. Anyways, we messed up and furgot to add da link to da Pet Parade. Can you believe it? A hop dat we’s purrticipated in since almost da beginnin’, and we furgot to add it.

Oh mommy today be da last day on da 3 day quote challenge. Me has a really good one fur today.
You do? Well you need to tell everyone the rules of the challenge first honey.
Okay. Me also wants to thank da Menagerie Mom from Four Legged Furballs. Here’s da rules:
1. Post fur 3 consecutive days
2. Choose and share 1 to 3 quotes each day
3. Challenge 3 bloggers each day
So there ya’ have it. As we have dun fur da last 2 days, we’s leavin’ da challenge open fur anypawdy who wuld like to do it. Just follow da rules and start quotin’.
Yesfurday when mommy and me were out and ‘bout after hers doctors pointment we were talkin’ ‘bout all da quotes one uses in a day. Lots of us use quotes in our normal everyday language dat we don’t give a second though ‘bout. We don’t know when they started or who actually coined them. You know da kind, mommys are famous fur sayin’ to their daughters, “Beauty is in da eye of da beholder.” And then there’s da one, “if ______________ jumped off a bridge would you want to as well?” Anyways, you get da idea. Mommy uses a lot of them. Since we began writin’ mommy’s had to be very careful ‘bout “givin’ credit where credit’s due.” Anyways, me’s quote fur today is:
“Adopt Don’t Shop”
We searched high and low fur da name of da purrson respawnsible fur this quote and came up empty. It was furst used as a campaign slogan to get more peeps to adopt shelter and rescue animals stead of buyin’ from breeders. Today, it’s almost as pawpular as sum of those old conversational quotes we talked ‘bout earlier. So dat wraps up our 3 day quote challenge. This has been fun.
Me has to go now, you heard mommy purromise to take me fur a stroll later, so me has to get ready. As we do every Furiday, we’s joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da Pet Parade Blog Hop.
Do you have a purrticular quote you use a lot in your everyday conversations?
